I am watching the Olympic Closing Ceremonies in China. What instrument are the Chinese Women playing? It looked like a banjo they held straight up in front of them, but the drum of the banjo-like thing was a stack of different sized squares and I can't tell if it looked like a broom or face on the end. They are strumming it with a bow. I'm totally confused! What the heck is that?
